[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
No sure how different the Chinese ROM would be. You can install the Market and Google Apps separately on Android. Its complicated, but I imagine less complicated than flashing a new ROM. Of course, this depends on whether your version has something on it to cripple this. The process should be similar to this:

http://ivansotof.com/2011/02/install-android-market-honeycomb-emulator

Theory would suggest if you put another ASUS Official ROM on yours it "should" get updates unless something is blocked for this on your ISP side, which is probably why your Google apps won't sync. However, its safer to just assume you break OS updates when installing a new ROM.

Of course, a new rom would require rooting and unlocking the bootloader, so you would have to wait for ASUS unlocker tool anyway. Probably easier to return yours and buy one from the US or UK if possible.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NastroGlide:
It should work like you want it to w a different region's rom. The problem will be using it in China. The "Government" blocks a lot of content, so if you are connecting to Chinese servers, no it won't work b/c it will be blocked at server level not tablet level at that point. Using it outside of China shouldn't be a problem. You can blame Government opression if in China.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] razialita:
Tried installing market, it asks me to sync with google account, which i cannot do so. I searched around and seems that rooting and unlocking will be needed... Don't think it's ISP side, since I'm currently in London and still unable to get to market.

Can't return it since im already in UK... that's what you get for being extremely impatient lol not a big problem though, since I like playing with roms and things, just that i have little experience withtablets and some device that actually get updates lol

not worried about servers since i'm in the UK already, so what you mean is once i flahsed another region's rom, i shall be receiving regular updates? Good to hear, looks like i can stay patient and wait for ICS roms :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NastroGlide:
I don't know that for sure, just speculation.

Hi everyone, I've started to upgrade my dad's TF201 but i got an error message when i try to unlock my device.

"An unknown error occurs, which may be a network connection issue. please wait and try again later" this is the message. I tried to reset factory settings, removed google account but everytime i try i get this message. Is it possible to solve this problem or should i throw that old guy into trash?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] andorraner:
Hi everyone, sorry for replying on such an old thread.

Got the same problem that the official unlock apk won't work on my old TF201

I searched here in some posts to get help unlocking bootloader and install twrp

tryed https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-tf201-katkiss-5-1-1-v30-multiwindow-stable-rro.3080892/

also tried motochopper, it's says everthing is ok, supersu is installed but cannot start into bootloader

then I tried to run the official apk from asus "UnLock_Device_App_V6" also v7 but there seems an network error and then I can't proceed.

Also all never versions got errors trying to install the apk (parser error)

Is there any possible way to get TWRP on this device or should I better spare my nerves and sell it on ebay and get some other android tablet?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brianhot1:
Okay This has been an ongoing thing for me and others. Long story short I would like to have 4g/wimax implemented on my Epic Touch 4g. I have everything else working fine for my lovely phone.4g is the only thing missing.Now for those of those who are new to this topic or have questions this process has been done on the first epic. Either with launcher pro/activities/wimaxlinetest or with dialing *#147852# and accessing wimaxlinetest from there. Now with that also being said first step does not work on epic touch,when you go int eh ability to write epic mac address and save wimax mac id has been removed and that dialer code that I stated earlier does not work on Epic Touch.

Now for things that have been said already.

1."You cannot do it because phone has to be activated to sprint for 4G to be provision" Sprint 3g and 4g radios and provisioning work totally different.3g and 4g authentication works totally different. 3g talks to sprint,4g talks to clearwire.

As long as you have an active sprint account and you have a 4g device you can use same mac address on epic touch 2 that you have on boost.

2."You wont be able to use 4g because phone is not activated what so ever" Phone does not have to be activated to sprint or boost for 4g to work.Please dont tell me that it has to because I still have original 4g epic that is not activated and 4g data works just fine. I still can use youtube,gtalk,google voice,etc.AND AS I STATED EARLIER MY OG EPIC IS NOT ACTIVATED.

3."WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS ANYWAY" I think the better question would be why not. Its my device I payed for it so why not use it how I want to use it. And I know its hard to do but please refrain from filling thread with unnecessary talk about being cheap,why I want to do this,its illegal etc. Because to be honest its pretty much the same principle for rooting and getting the most out of your device.And last time I checked free hotspot and changing roms and things like that are frowned upon to SPRINT so please save it lol. But then again I cannot stop no one for posting on the thread so hey. But please keep it positive or for the most part im just going to ignore you anyway. All I am asking for is help,And I would greatly appreciated it.Bashing is really not going to get us nowhere and sorry if Im coming off a little standoffish,but a great guy who does alot with helping people tried what im trying now,only for the thread to talk about things that had nothing to do with the subject. He got frustrated and decided to delete the thread. Hopefully we can get it resolved this time.

THANK YOU

Yes. 4G Boost action

Please message me about how you got that quad data to work. I am also on Boost Mobile with my Epic 4g Touch. I have already tweaked the 3G settings (minimal gain, if any) and have been through the "Full WiMax Settings" thread with no change. I can connect but the bits aren't flowing.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graham Dougherty:
Have an evo 4g recently flashed blackend e4g 0.0.1a [2.3.3] . I had CM6 running strong and was able to flash CM7 OMGB Fresh and a bunch more. After flashing blackend I lost root access . I can't get into recovery manually or through rom manager. I tried to reroot using revolutionary method for 2.3.3 and it tells me my hboot version is not supported [ hboot version 0.93.0000 ] Simply put stuck like chuck. Searched google and this forum hope I landed in the right place thanks........................Using CWM recovery android 2.3.3 Baseband version 2.15.00.07.28 kernel version 2.6.35.10-g13578ee build 4.53.651.1 cl133994 release-keys
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] düdldihüü:
I'm using BoxmaX KS v9.0.Final for SD w/ Kernel TyTung r14 SenBT.

Everything works fine except for the fact that the names of incoming calls aren't displayed, although I have them as a contact. Here is what happens:

1. It takes very long for the phone to actually realize that it is being called (several seconds)

2. The display is turned on and I see the Android robot as picture, the caller number and his name

3. The ringing starts and the name fades

4. I see the robot and the number but no name

The jump from step 2 to 3 happens really fast, so it is impossible to know who calls when the phone is in my pocket upon calling.

The funny thing now is that this only happens when the phone is in standby. When it is awake it nearly immediatly realizes that it is being called and the ringing also starts directly. Name and picture of the caller are displayed.

I have tried several things:

- editing the phone number to different styles (my standard is "+xx (xxx) xxxxxxxxx", i tried "+xxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "0xxxxxxxxxxxx" (without region code) and "+xx-xxx-xxxxxxxxx")

- changing the language, always using my country (I tried English (Germany) and German (Germany))

And of course I searched the forum and other websites and found some threads regarding this problem but nowhere a fix could be found (only sometimes the style of the number helped), and I didn't find this problem to be a specific standby problem.

Edit: Ok, just checked with another friend, he is not displayed when the phone is awake either. He is a phone contact, the other friend (with the bug described above) is Google contact. But I cannot tell right now whether that is just coincidence or not.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shindai.china:
I think there is a big engeneering mistake and users should be aware and take care.

When put the sd card in the slot it will stick out to much so when touch it or put it in a bag or whatever the sd card will com3 out of the slot.

After many times put it back because not see the card sign in the i finally lost it.

Told my gf and said well u did not put the card good in the sl she said and showed me there was nocard sticking out of the slot....

I said well get it out and i show you how it fits in mine.........

Guess what ?????????????????

Good guess she also lost her card same way. Besides the loss of 2x times 50 euro for a 10 class card.our data is onthe street !!!!!!!!!!!!

Asus did a bad job we think.

So all pay attention to this.

So for the new cards wewill put some tape over it so we cant loose it anymore.

Other sugestions????????

Grtz
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flyingwolf:
Not an ideal solution, but I too noticed the fact that the card stuck out some.

As such I took a razor and shaved the edge of the card down, I need to use my nail to push the card in now and it seats flush against the side of the tab.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cyi1:
I've accidentally unmounted the sd card with my palms a couple times.. It's almost as annoying as accidentally pressing the sd icon and unmounting it through software. I wish it didn't pop up. I'm aware I have a sd card inserted.. I don't need a notification for it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theizzardking:
I've only bumped mine once , and also agree about the sd card access point , i prefer to use my apps to view files opposed to the icon on the bottom, so far the worst thing is the little rubber cover that gets lost every time i have to charge..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
BUY SMALLER SD CARDS DUH! THEY MAKE MANY SIZES FRACTIONS OF AN INCH IN SIZE EVERYTHING IS BASED ON MICRO SD STANDARDS SO FIND ON SMALLER OR JUST SPOT ON THOSE SPECS
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jondroot:
You are an idiot obviously were using micro sd cards cause its the micro sd card slot were having issues with in the first place
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
No way but they make slightly different dimensions lol! Like a hair difference in size! The length of the manufacturer is their choice the main thing that's a standard is the width they can make a micro sd card 40 feet long and it would still work! Lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jake.hybrid:
Timeout, there's a rubber cover for the docking/charging input?? I have the other two, but never noticed the other. Am I missing something?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shindai.china:
well the shaving idea seems a better solution then tape it. Not know how far must shave it but i will give it a try
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shindai.china:
yeah there is a plasticic protection clip but andcomes with it wheb get it out of the box. Probably idea is to protect the connector. Also this thing comes out to easy when work with the tablet. Probably same guy who enineerd the micro sd card slot. Hrrhrrrr
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shindai.china:
did the shaving test with gilette offcourse not work nice found out that sanding paper works more easy :-)

By the way litle tip. Use the white original serted card as size reference(wnen not thrown away) and you have a perfect fit and card wont get out anymore by accident and need to remove by nail as it works with the original fill up the space card.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
Yeah, NOT happy with the same card sticking out like this. Mine is in a temp sleave for a tf101 and that helps but I was very surprised. I originally spent time trying to figure out if the plastic place holder was some sort of adapter :rolleyes:

I guess the rubber piece that covered my charging port might still be in the box, but I bet its gone. If it's not attached.....it's gonna get lost when it's that small
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
Hey guys, heads up: The razor/file system is not really safe. I just ruined a 16G MicroSD card by attempting to file down the back edge. I noticed that there was copper exposed, so I stopped, but I had already ruined the card. The Prime won't read it now. I'm kinda bummed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
That sucks :( Sorry to here that. Thanks for the heads up though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flyingwolf:
I guess I really should have mentioned that you have to be really really careful.

I had a dead version of my exact card lying around so I tested it first. It is a hairs difference between perfect and screwed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
I think that my problem may be unique to my card, actually. I believe that it's an older SanDisk Category 2 card, so it may be constructed differently than most newer microSD cards. I barely took anything off of the outside edge before I hit the copper. I didn't even get close to taking the card down to where it would be flush with the edge of the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
Yep, my wife lost her's within a couple of days with the prime. Add this to this list of design fails with the Bluetooth, GPS, power button... etc.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Andreas527:
I think a bigger issue is the connector for the charger and HDMI. There isn't any support on on side of the charger connection and same on the HDMI. Feels like it will bend and brake every time I use the Tablet connect to charger or HDMI.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Yes it's super delicate this will be the thinnest tablet out for awhile because of this reason unless they use some sort of induction charging or some super weird charger that's super small and circular but then it would take all day to charge
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
Would you guys mind posting pictures of both successful and unsuccessful (too far in) cards that you have attempted to file down? Maybe this way we could all get a better idea of how much might be too much. I know they'll vary a bit from card to card but it could be useful to more people here who want to try filing down. Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tyvar1:
Ye plz do that! :D i am going to get a class 10 32 gb samsung SDHC card and i need to know how much i need to file down :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] copc:
I'd go out on a limb and say it depends on what manufacturer makes the card and how old it is. There will be no 100% measurement for all cards.

Yes my Samsung 32gb SDHC sticks out and I feel it each time I hold it. I use it everyday, yet it has never popped out?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theizzardking:
i found that if i simple rotate the tablet to have the charging port on top, it makes this less of an issue, and if the tablet is just laying flat on a tablet charging i don't see what the problem is......

granted if you have the dock you maybe able to charge through that and never really need to use this port for charging the device in the first place.

from what i've been reading in teh uk you can only buy the tablet with the dock which makes sense when some of these design choices come into play... i think they would have done things a bit differently if not dock was involved....

haven't played with hdmi yet either but trying to understand how that's an issue, it comes from the side right, so when are you ever going to be holding the tablet for long periods of time while hooked to hdmi out? at that point you should really just be hitting play on your player and laying the tablet down....

not trying to make lite of problems that obviously bother you guys, i'm just saying i don't think it's that bad and there are a few work arounds that said though, i'm really really pissed they didn;t connect the little rubber charger butt plug somehow, i just know that's going to get lost..but then back to teh dock thing.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richaoj:
It does stick out a bit, but not so bothersome. The icon annoys me much more, so easy to unmount there. Is there a way to disable that damn icon?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theizzardking:
not yet, and personally i like the icon for quick access to the files on the sd, much quicker then opening file manager and navigating it there, that said, how often does the typical user need to do that? most normal people tell their apps where the files are on initial set-up and let the apps do the rest...but really though if your the type that's always messing with files on your sd card it is a nice feature..

also aren't micro sd cards standardized? i would think they are more or less at least with-in 1mm or so of each other , how else would you design a phone to hold the bloody thing? at the very least there has to be a nominal variant some where...again this isn't my industry and i have no freaking clue, just doesn't sound right to me they can all be different sizes....

mine fits well enough, sticks out a tad, i've only unmounted once in the week of heavy use since i've had it. (6-8 hours a day at least)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] simard57:
while looking at some of the videos of unboxings and dock stations - I wondered why the HDMI connection was not lower on the tablet so it was closer to the table the tablet with docking station was on. Swapping the location of the SD card with the HDMI port seems to make sense -- unless the port is where it is so that tablet can be held when not in the docking station.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Smoke362:
My card also stuck out too far and kept coming out. After having to insert it too many times, now the card won't stay in at all. I tried different cards as well. None of them will stay inserted. Used black tape to hold my card in. Don't cover my screen, retains my card in the slot. Beats sending it in to Asus for god knows how long. Bad engineering design.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bobsofa:
Jesus! Thanks guys, you just gave me back the perspective I needed. I was so hooked on the specs, nearly bought one. But since all connectors/slots besides the headphone jack seem to be unreliable, i will give it a pass. Still hope there will be an LTE version soon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Smoke362:
Im only having the problem with my microSD slot which isn't much of a problem. Don't let this deter you from buying a prime. I gave my iPad to my son and have no regrets. In my opinion, the iPad couldn't hold the Prime's jock strap. Love it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
do NOT do this with micro SD cards, it will ruin the card.

I took some of that plastic packaging everything comes in, cut a small strip about the size of the card, bent one edge, and wedged it in wiih the SD card. I can pull it out if i need to and its very close to flush with the tablet and i can bump the SD card (even tap on it or press it) and it isnt going to move anywhere. The friction keeps everything in there nice and tight and i dont have to worry about losing my card.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
I have had my Prime since January and have had zero problems with the microSD card slot, nor the charging dock. I haven't lost any microSD cards, nor has my charging dock broken and I use my Prime every day, and take it with me practically everywhere.

Everyone's experience will be different so take anything people say with a grain of salt, but aside from the non-working GPS (got the Dongle though, and it works fine) the Prime has been an amazing tablet for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
Same here. I don't regret getting my Prime at all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JaceAlvejetti:
I have the Minisuit case, have had it over six months and it dosent allow for any of the cards to get bumped there for, I would say just get a good case and you should be fine, and the Minisuit covers the dock also and still allows for "transformation"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bobsofa:
Thank you for your comment. The problem that I would have is the fact that will use it without the dock all the time. And since the 40pin connector seems to be a bit loose (based on many amazon reviews), and I wanted to use it with those adapters extensively, (looking at my camera shots with a big screen, etc...) this won't work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d-shade:
I just used tape to wedge the microsd into my prime, since I don't really intend on removing it too often.

I used black electrical tape since thats what I had around

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21865793#post21865793

The tape will allow the microsd card to sit further in the slot the tape on the outside is backup just in case it gets bumped and ejected to keep it in place, I also use it when I need to pull the microsd card out since I don't have any nails to pull the card out.

I have redone the tape with my new 32gb microsd card so it looks better but I realized I put the tape on slightly crooked so I may have to do it over.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] faeredia:
ive not had any dramas either, i think its a bit rough to call it a major engineering flaw. the prime is a fantastic device and still one of the best tablets out there.
